8. May a suitable successor be waiting at that shelter.

I know some people need or prefer to wait to add a new furry family member after a loss. I have almost always gone looking right away. I never look at a new cat as a replacement, but as a successor, and it helps, at least it does for me, because it gives the love I had for the departed cat somewhere to settle instead of just floating around with nowhere to attach.

There's always someone who needs you.
